Budget Cutting Simulator
Instapundit has a great link up to a federal budget cutting calculator. Give it a shot. A quick run on my part, cutting programs I know of and leaving most things at current levels, still yeilded an $89 billion cut in federal spending. My cuts were generally - Nasa (1/3), Corp. Welfare, Ag. Subsidies, means testing SSI survivor benefits, and a few other tweaks.
So much for "No fat left in the Budget!"...hey Mr. Delay?!
